Afrika Korps

Knowing the Afrika Korps

The Mane 6 run for their lives, as the dangerous 'turtles' are chasing them in speed. The two guards ponies are escorting the Mane 6's escape. However, another *bang* got them in their spines, and another impact on the ground got them running faster. The 'turtles' doesn't show any signs of weariness at all.

'How could these turtles chase us without any fatigue?' Twilight thought in her mind while she and her friends are still running.

-Canterlot Castle-

Canterlot Castle was a magnificent building, built specifically for the Royal Sisters, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. In her quarters, Luna was just busy doing some royal work when the door flew open. It revealed the Sun Princess, none other than Princess Celestia herself.

"Hello there sister. What comes here in my chambers?" Luna said to her older sister.

"Oh nothing sister. I just wanted to come visit my beloved sister's chambers." Celestia replied.

"Oh well. Well then, I supposed you need to see what's in the cosmos." Luna said with a chuckle. She got Celestia into a balcony with a simple telescope, looking towards the skies.

"I believe the honor is your sister." Luna said with a smile. Celestia took the telescope and pointed it to the bright sky. However, some brown dust was coming from the horizon.

"Hey Lulu, what's that?" Celestia asked her sister.

"What?" Luna asked back at her older sister.

"Take a look for yourself." Celestia brought the telescope to Luna, who viewed it more closely. And there, in the north, was something not right. Brown dust was in the sky. Luna thought that it doesn't feel right, but when she goes about some degree downwards, something caught her eye. There was 8 ponies and a swirling mass of brown dust.

"Uhm...Tia, I think we need to see those 8 ponies." Luna said.

"But-" But Celestia was cut off as the Dark blue colored Alicorn transported them towards the 8 ponies.

-Panzer Scout Force-

The Panzer Force is now chasing the 8 horses that are now galloping towards to the north. The men are having high spirits that they could capture these horses and see if they have answers for why they attack them.

"So your saying that those inhabitants attack you, but their weapons bounced off the Panzer's armor?" Rommel asked during a conversation with the Lt. from radio.

"Yes sir. And we are now currently chasing them towards the north." Lt. replied.

"Okay then. Continue the chase, but if you encountered something utterly powerful, retreat to the FOB and we'll have a defensive perimeter."

"Aye Field Marshal." The Lt. cut off the radio, but a sudden blue light stopped the Panzers dead in their tracks.

"Sir something just appeared out of nowhere." The driver said.

"Hey gunner! Could you identify the target?" The Lt. asked the calm Panzer gunner. After a quick look at his targeting sights, the gunner replied:

"Sir, I identified two large horses at our way. The 8 little ones, well let's just say they are staring at those two. What's our course of action sir?" The Lt. thought for a moment about his decision, to do something about those two troublesome horses standing at his way. However, he remembered what the Field Marshal, he said to the radio:

"All Panzer units retreat! We must inform about the Field Marshal about our situation, but the guns must fire some rounds just to get some distance!" The Panzer units know what the Lt. meant. Retreat, follow Rommel's defensive orders and leave a message: You must know the capabilities of the Afrika Korps.

-Pony Perspective-

The Mane 6 and the two guards ponies are getting tired from the running they endured for so long. Their pursuers, on the other hand, doesn't slow down from fatigue or exhaustion.

'What will it take for this turtles just to slow down?' Twilight asked her mind. However, a sudden blue flash was emitted between them and the 'turtles'. When the flash was gone, it revealed the Royal Sisters, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Suddenly, the 'turtles' stopped, just some distance between them and the princesses.

'Phew. At least the princesses show authority.' Twilight initially thought as the confrontation lasted minutes, until some time, however, the 'turtles' emitted again 'smoke and fire', and they make a retreat towards the Everfree Forest.

"Tia? What should we do?" Luna asked her sister.

"Send in the scout force. I don't want them to go back." Celestia replied to her sister. The message was clear for the ponies: They must find before these 'turtles' could cause potential harms. However, they didn't know that the 'turtles' had a very cunning mind in their arsenal.

-Afrika Korps FOB-

"So your saying that a sudden flash got in the way and out comes two larger horses?" Rommel asked the Lt. when the Panzer Scout Force returned, with three-fourth fuel left for the force.

"Yes Field Marshal. However, we made a message to them, but I doubt that they will just sit and wait." The Lt. replied.

"I believe so. Men! Get the Panzers into defensive position and get them hidden. Let's give them a nasty surprise." With a large of 'Aye sirs', the men got to work, Panzers into defensive positions, and waited for their opponents.
